Katie Price, the former glamour model and reality TV star, is once again at the center of engagement speculation after being spotted at a bridal boutique with her boyfriend, JJ Slater.

The couple, who have been dating for six months, were seen last Thursday browsing wedding gowns, accompanied by Katie’s eldest son, Harvey, 22.

This public outing has only fueled rumors that the pair may be planning to tie the knot soon.

Despite undergoing her sixth facelift recently, Katie appeared to be happy to be browsing gowns in the company of her son and boyfriend.

She was seen examining a sparkly bridal gown with voluminous sleeves and a puffy skirt, all while sporting surgical tape and visible wounds from her recent cosmetic procedures in Turkey.

Katie, who has a well-documented history of multiple engagements and marriages, was also seen wearing a large diamond ring last week, further igniting engagement rumors.

This new chapter in Katie’s personal life comes amid ongoing financial struggles. On Monday, a judge at the Insolvency and Companies Court ruled that Katie’s income from TikTok would be suspended as part of efforts to pay off debts related to her two bankruptcies.

The 46-year-old was first declared bankrupt in November 2019 and again in March this year. She is scheduled to face further questioning about her finances later this month in London.

In a previous ruling, Judge Catherine Burton ordered that 40% of Katie’s income from the adult entertainment site OnlyFans be directed to a trustee-controlled account until February 2027 to help pay off her debts.

This order was later extended to cover income from eight other companies associated with Katie. However, complications arose when barristers representing the trustee sought to extend this order to Katie’s TikTok earnings.

While TikTok’s lawyers did not oppose the move, they explained that the platform’s payment mechanisms made compliance challenging.

During the court hearing, barrister Darragh Connell, representing the trustee, expressed concerns that substantial sums of money could flow to Katie from TikTok that the trustee would struggle to recover without a suspension.

Lauren Kreamer, representing TikTok, confirmed that the platform had previously paid Katie £84,000 for a three-month agreement to create e-commerce content.

However, the court was informed that investigations into how TikTok could comply with the income order were still ongoing.

She is scheduled to appear in court on August 27 to address these financial matters, following a stern warning from the judge that she must attend without excuses.

This comes after Katie was arrested at Heathrow Airport due to a warrant issued for her failure to attend a previous court hearing.

Katie’s personal life remains as tumultuous as ever, with the recent engagement rumors adding to the drama.

Alongside her six-month relationship with JJ Slater, Katie has been engaged eight times before and has three ex-husbands, including singer Peter Andre, MMA fighter Alex Reid, and former stripper Kieran Hayler.

She is also a mother to five children, including Harvey, who accompanied her and JJ during their recent bridal shop visit.
